I was pretty excited today when I downloaded Inkscape, an open source vector
editor, and found that it exported directly to POV as splines or prisms. If
you still do your splines by hand like I had been, I definitely recomend
checking it out (not a bad vector editor either, for being free).

Works pretty well, but you have to be sure to convert some object types -
text doesn't render so well unless you convert it to curves first (IIRC).
But I've liked the results that I've gotten from it...

I find it invaluable when creating glasses, bottles, carafes, vases etc. You
can also do the liquids within such receptacles with ease.

I'm interested in how you do this - got a sample posted somewhere?

I have now:
http://www.infradead.org/~wmp/tall_glass.svg
Download the file, open it in Inkscape. You'll see a half-cross-section of a
full wine glass as two separate curves. Export the curves separately as
POV-Ray splines; the output files will be prisms. Simply convert them to
lathes by removing the two height values and replacing the keyword 'prism'
with 'lathe'. Import them into the scene of your choice, union them for
ease of use, add the desired glass/water/wine textures and wahey!
Looks great with reflection { 0.1 }, conserve_energy and lots of photons.

Hi,
I've been interested with the idea of using Inkscape splines with POV-Ray
too.
Last year I did a little utility to take a set of floor plans defined in
Inkscape and generate a building in POV-Ray.
You can see the results and a writeup at

Regards,
Chris B.

Forgive me, this looks like a hypertext file. How do I open it in Inkscape?

SVG is an XML file format - it should just open (and indeed it does, as
I've opened it in Inkscape myself).
The giveaway for XML files is the first line:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
And for this particular one, the second line has a comment indicating it
was created with Inkscape...

Hm, yes, that is what I thought...
Another stupid question then :-)
How do I save this particular file to my system? I tried copying to a file
and save as .svg, but Inkscape won't accept that.
